PECA TO WEAR LEAF BLUE AND WHITE?

>It appears that the Leafs and Michael Peca areclose to getting a deal done. It was initially speculatedwhen free agency market opened that Peca wantedto play 'closer to home.'I would assume he will sign for a bit less than lastyear, given the Leaf's salary cap position. Incentives willprobably be added to the deal.I have always been a huge Peca fan, so this potentialsigning is getting me excited. However, Peca's inconsistentplay in recent years prevents me from breaking out theSpiced Rum and Coke. More to come...

The Leafs have also signed 3 defencemen today: CarloColaiacovo, Brendan Bell, and Jay Harrison. Colaiacovo,Toronto's first pick in the 2001 NHL entrydraft, accepted his $901,740 qualifying offer. Notsure of what Bell and Harrison will be paid. With the Leaf'sdefensive depth, Bell and Harrison will be fighting forthe final spot on D.

Decent signing for the Leafs I think. I've always liked him too, specially when he adds a lil scoring. Wonder where that leaves the Dark Knight now. Can't see them spending 5 mil per season for Carter/Peca.
